We’re thrilled to announce that Lauren Keene, from Gloucester, is now the proud owner of a contemporary, five-bedroom Hollywood Hills-inspired property on the Wirral. Worth over £3,000,000, it comes complete with £250,000, a heated swimming pool and state-of-art cinema room.
Lauren is the youngest Omaze Grand Prize Winner to date, and at only 24 has won this contemporary house complete with spectacular coastal views.
Full-time nanny, Lauren, was on her way to grab a McDonald’s after work when we called her to say she’d won a prize. An ecstatic Lauren said: “It was just an ordinary Friday really, I was heading for a McDonald’s after work when I got a call from Omaze telling me I’d won something. I was sceptical - and hungry - but went straight home to see what I'd won. The next thing we knew, the Omaze team were all there telling us we’d won a £3 million mansion! I was gobsmacked!”
Lauren, who bought her winning entry for just £20 as part of her Omaze subscription, has been with partner Ryan since they were both 18-years-old. Ryan, a software engineer who was born in Liverpool, celebrated his 25th birthday just a few days after they found out about Lauren’s big win.
On her new house she said: “The house is unreal! It really does feel like something you’d find in the Hollywood Hills! It's made for parties and we can't wait to get everyone we know up here for a big bash!”
The stunning property comes mortgage free, with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. Lauren has also been given £250,000 in cash to help settle in and can decide to either live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income or sell it whenever he wishes to become a cash multi-millionaire.

£3,500,000 raised for Scouts
As well as making Lauren and Sarah very happy winners, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, on the Wirral and The Great Escape House Draw, Wales, raised £3,500,000 for Scouts.
Scouts is the UK’s largest youth movement, inspiring nearly half a million young people to step up, speak up and gain skills for life.
The money raised from the partnership with Omaze will fund Scouts to open new groups in local communities, especially low-income areas, helping young people of every background believe in themselves and find their place in the world.
It will also support young people in their early years (in Squirrels Scouts) as they start out on their journey through Scouts.
Aidan Jones Scouts CEO said: “Our partnership with Omaze has been just brilliant. The partnership will allow us to help grow our new Squirrel Scout section. The funds generated will help over 16,000 four-and five-year-olds learn key life skills. As well as the funds we had expected to generate from working with Omaze we are blown away by the extra funds that have been created.“
That’s what happens when you do something omazing. For your chance to win big and give back, enter our live draws now.
